In my short story anthology – Sex, Death, and Moist Towelettes – I wrote a story using the inspiration of a British man wearing a top hat, dressed in a tux with a slight wince and beads of sweat on his upper lip. On Her Special Day became his story. Something in that man’s face stopped me and made me look closer. I found a whole life and family in his eyes and now that story is in a book.
So today’s flash fiction will feature faces that stopped me. Pick one and write a short story of your own. Who knows what ideas it will spawn? Even if you’re not a writer, we are all drawn to the emotion in other’s. It’s one of the solid reasons we read books and get yanked into a novel. We all have a natural storyteller waiting to come out. Please share yours, even if it’s only to tell us that one of these guys looks like your Uncle Mort.

What do you think? Do these people know each other? Are any of them related? Could they all end up in a story? Inquiring minds want to know.
